In the rarefied world of luxury automobiles, Rolls-Royce (BMW.DE) just upped the ante. Enter the Nightingale, the inaugural entry in the automaker’s new Coachbuild Collection. It combines the nostalgia and grand motoring of massive land yachts of the past with drop-top motoring and 21st-century engineering. And we’re not talking about a V12 — the Nightingale is all-electric. Rolls-Royce tends to be discreet, shall we say, about pricing, finding discussion of cost unmannerly.

For most of the past 20 years, markets were shaped by a regime of falling inflation, cheap capital and frictionless globalization. In that world, Equities led, Bonds cushioned volatility and Commodities were too often treated as cyclical side trades rather than core portfolio leadership. That regime is now being dismantled. A more unstable and inflation-prone order is taking its place, shaped by de-globalization, fiscal overspending, geopolitical conflict, sanctions, export controls and the rapid emergence of a multipolar world. The implication is profound: the next decade may not belong to financial assets in the way the last one did. It may belong to…

Landlords with buy-to-let borrowing hold an average of 6.5 individual loans, typically spread across two lenders, as they manage increasingly complex borrowing arrangements. Research from Pegasus Insight reveals that average total borrowing stands at £714,000, with landlords responsible for larger or more diverse portfolios particularly managing property finance through a multi-loan, multi-lender approach.This requires a level of coordination and forward planning that simply wasn’t part of the model for many landlords historically, says Mark Long, managing director of Pegasus Insight.“When financing is structured across several products, decisions in one part of the portfolio can have knock-on effects elsewhere, particularly around…
